I live in East Hanover and we had a problem this summer where the mayor would make extra money if a condo development was built on the industrial street near where I live. The town made a website where people can protest about it online. Somebody wrote that there is too much commercial traffic in the town, which is taking away East Hanover's suburban feel. They mainly are talking about the tractors that drive only 25 mph on main roads. I actually agree with that person, but in my opinion, there are too many commercial vehicles in NJ and they just slow down traffic and they just add length to the traffic. It's so damn annoying. There are also too many non-commercial pickup drivers in NJ and they drive selfishly either too slow or super aggressive.

I feel that NJ has too many commercial vehicles causing traffic issues especially in the suburbs of NJ. It is very annoying. I cannot even leave my own street onto the main road. I guess blue collared job opportunities in NJ are very abundant. Every time I want to turn out of my street, there is always a redneck pickup truck passing (whether commercial or not) and other commercial vehicles. It's not even summer and I am seeing too many landscaping vehicles around when not too much yardwork needs to be done.

Also, I would like to talk about other general traffic issues in NJ. Recently, there have been a lot of cops holding up traffic. They block off a lane for no reason and they do absolutely nothing. They just sit there. NJ cops and too many commercial vehicles impact my quality of life.

Please explain for us how the thousands of stores in NJ would receive their goods if not for commercial vehicles that deliver those goods.

No commercial vehicles=no goods for sale in your local stores, and that includes food products.

I totally understand what you are saying. But there is an excessive amount of trucks! Grocery stores and stores overstock on things all over America, which shows how wasteful of a country we are!

Stores intentionally purchase more goods than they can possibly sell? Please provide a link to an article from a legitimate source in order to substantiate your statement.
